STOVE.

Application filed March 29, 1917.

T0 all whom it may concern.'

.Be it known that I, JAMES G. SCOTT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have in'- vented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference b'eing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to stoves but more particularly to a domestic cooking stove using gaseous fuel so constructed and arranged that when desired the burners may be employed for heating Water and the heat from the burners led to an oven for the purpose of heating the same for baking purposes.

The invention consists4 in the novel construction of the stove; in the construction for leading-oft' the carbon monoxid and in the novel draft which increases the efficiency ot' the burners and enables a sutticient quantity of heated air to pass to the oven for baking purposes.

The invention further consists in certain other novel details of construction and in certain combinations of parts all of which will be first. fully described and afterward specifically pointed out in the appended claims. Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical scc; tional view through a stove and oven constructed in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view illustrating the burners and water backs.

Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical view through the oven. A

der, the gas feed pipes for the burners bethe numeral 5; illustrate four burners, itis of course understood that stoves constructed in accordance with this invention may have any number of burners. i

6 indicates the water backs which as shown n the several figures are cylindrical in forand l a chimney or line therefor. The Water to the burners is led by means of the pipes 7 connected at the bottom of each water back, While the water from the water backs is led through the pipes 8 which pipes are breasted at 9 into a single water pipe 10. From this it will be understood that the cold water enters the water backs at the bottom and passes from the water backs at the top.

Referring now to Fig. t it will be seen that the burners 4 are supplied with atmospheric air through a draft opening 11 and it 'il also appear from said figure that I proudU above the waterbacks a. series of plates 12, as are also in plan in Fig. 6, said plates connected with one another to divide the interior of the stove into a lower compartment 13 and an upper compartment 14. Each of the plates '1Q is provided with a circular opening 15 through which tho hea-t from the burner l passes into the upper compartment 1J., while that portion of 1Q surrounding the openings 15 is depressed at 1G in such r .anner as to enter. the water backs (3 to provide an annular space 17 be-l tween the edge of each opening 15 and the ltop edge of each of the water backs, the said opening 17 -at each water back 6 communieating with the lower compartment 13 of the stove. v

. leferring to Fig. 1 it`will be seen that I provide a tluc 18 communicating with the j pper compartment lof the stove so as` to lead atmospheric air to said compartment Patented raar. af, reta. t

each of the platesand at a point above the burners et and above the carl-on rnonoxid plates 12, so that the combustion' of the gaseous fuel isrendered tit:

Referring again to Fig. i it will be seen that l provide at one side of the stove and in cominunieation with the upper compartment il. a tlue 2l which leads to the oven 3, indicating` a passage communicating with a horizontal chamber 23 above a bioiling chanibcr @l The horizontal chamber Z3 provided, centrally 'with an opening,l 25 in communi ation with an upper horizontal chamber 26, said horizontal 'chamber 26 commimicatii'ig with a vertical chamber 27 which surrounds the sides and back of the oven 3, the front ot' the oven being equipped ith a door 2S as shown in Fig. t3. Pro-l vided in the side walls 29 of the oven is a plurality ot horizontal openings I3() comnmnicatingn with the surrounding chamber 9,7, `while the top 31 of the oven is provided n ,ar the door 28 thereof with a plurality of openings 1%'2 communicating with a top horizontal chamber which top horizontal chamber 33 comnmnicates directly with the discharge tlue l-a.

l pret'cr to provide below the lowermosthorizontal chamber Z3 a damper controlled opening 35 which connnunitntes with the interior ot the broiler compartment 2l so that when said broiler compartment 2lis not in use the damper 36 can be opened as shown in Fig. l in order to allow atmospheric air to pass there'lrom into the said horizontal chamber Ll, the purpose ol" this ctmstruction being to cause the heated air Vt'roin the stove lo braruh in the directions of' the arrows as shown in 'Figa l, .so as to insure a uniform heating' ot the oven tl.

For the purpose of a more ready understandinrr ot' the currents, l have illustrated the direction and llbw of the hot air b v long1 Vl'ull arrows and have ilidicated the direction and flow of atmospheric air by dotted arrows while l hare imlicated the direction and .tiow ol" the carbon monoxid by short heavy arrows.

I As will appear in Figs. l and -l l provide at the haelt ol the sterf and in connnunication with the upper compartn'ient i4 a damper 23T which is in communication-with the carbon monoxid flue 35%. The purpose o'l this construction. is lo allow the hot, air t'rom the u]iper\cmuparlment li to pass into the monoxid flue 338 when it not desired to lead the same to the oven tl. t will also he seen 'trom Figi". 4- that l provide under said damper 37 and in. conm'mnication with the lowe' ciinipartment .13 a large opening,r 3S) connnunicating with a chamber Ll0 which receives the carbon' monoxid from the lower coiapartment 13 to pass iheretron'i into the carbon monoxid flue 38 as indicated by the short heavy arrows. By' means of the damper arrangement 37 I am enabled to regulate the quantity ot' heat passing to the oven in such inaJner as to direct all of the het air into the oven or only-a portion thereof as may be found expedient. Upon full opening o' the damper 37 piactically all ot the hot air discharged into the, carbon monoxid flue 38 piped to the outer atmosphere so that the noxious gases and the eX- ccssire heat vtrom the stove will be ledv to the outer atmosphere.

Having thus fully described the invention itsjl operation is as follows:

The stove being` constructed in the manner as just described the carbon monoxid gas lormed by reason ol the cooling of the burner flames against walls ot the water backs t3 passes under the carbon monoxid plates l2 and between the water backs and said plates and into the lower compartment 13 through the openings 1T at 'the topsI of the water backs and 'from said compartment 13 into the discharge liuc 3S. The llame from the burners l passes up through the water backs (tand through the circular openings l5 in the carbon monoxid plates 12 and into the upper compartment 14. At this point atmospheric air passingthrough the line 1S meets the burner flame causing' a more perfect combustion and consequently a greater and more intense'heat which is delivered under the top of the stove and caused to follow the' direction ot the arrows in Fie'. 1 into the chamber 22 and around and into the oven 3 in the manner as heretofore described. By means of this instruction a su'tlicient quantity ot' hot air is provided by the burners l to be used for baking purposes, while at the saine time the water backs provide a sufficient quantity ot' hot water for all ordinary household'purposes, it being understood that the heating of the water and the heating of the oven as described is elifected by the burners which are en'iployed tor cooking' purposes and that no additional burners are required to effect the water heating` and the oven heating'. (ln the contrary l have found that the drat't.- ing ot the stove by means ot' the liuc 't8 causes a more intense heat than would be possible with the ordinary stove construction and l' am tlmrctore enabled to operate a stove constructed in accordance with this invention, morel economically and with a less consumption ol t'uel than as usual with stoves ot' ordinary design.

Having?r thus fully described the invention, it-is ot course apparent that the construction as shown and described is susceptible lo certain changes in the construction and arrangement, ot' the parts and I con sider myself clearly entitled to all such changes and modifications as tall` within the limit and scope of the appended claims.

N hat l claim as'new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is l. A stove ot the character described having; an upper and a lower compartment, a burner disposed in thelower compartment, a
